Good Riddance, You Brutalizing Hag (just one more reason to loathe Nancy Reagan)
https://satyrosphilbrucato.wordpress.com/2016/03/07/good-riddance-you-brutalizing-hag/
By that time, Straight Inc. a supposed drug-rehab organization that had zero connection to medical practitioners or supervision had already racked up a series of lawsuits and criminal charges. Their activities included beating kids, snatching them off of streets and dragging them into cars and vans, forcing kids to go without food or sleep for days on end, and various forms of physical, social, psychological and emotional torture. They SHOULD have been shut down long before my girlfriends parents attended a presentation by a Straight Inc. spokesman.
Instead, they were celebrated by Nancy and Ronald Reagan, who even brought their friend Princess Diana of Wales to see how magnificent Straight Inc. was supposed to be. Thanks to the Reagans, lawsuits were hushed, charges were dropped, and media stories about the group were buried or killed. Nancy Reagan trumpeted Straight Inc. as the salvation of American youth, and so when my girlfriends parents came back from that meeting, they had a plan.
